Well if you go back to page 18 i said "Mark my words, this kid is a dud"
Way before i knew anything about his issues, just my observation from the games i closely watched him in.
At least now he's not our problem, the Dogs have got themselves a dud.
He won't see out his contract at the Dogs either, he'll go to Rugby somewhere.
Yes you did! What made you think this when just about everyone else was seeing great value in him? Just curious.
Just watched what he did when he didn't have the ball, also watched his athleticism with the ball and general movement and technique when defending.
As a 19yr old i expected more zip and quickly realised he hasn't got it, so the next thought for someone who is still growing is backrow and he just doesn't seem the type to be able to handle that work load.
IMO he's a MCK type, maybe a tad better but that type if you understand what i mean.
My other big call was Brooks, i never saw his debut like most did, so i never had that positive bias about him from the beginning.
I live in Qld so i miss all the Sydney paper hype, i just judge them as i see them play and it's no secret i think Brooks is overall ordinary.
This is his make or break season, don't believe these articles about him not feeling the pressure, he'll be feeling it alright especially now that we've freed up some cash.
We won't do anything as long as Brooks is at 7.
Brooks biggest concern is injury. His got better cattle this year but injury have set him back quite a bit.
